2. Thanks for teh heads-up

I did not knwo about it. Just turned to the CSPAN stream. Got the end of a catholic bishop talking, now an evangelical leader. Talking about tolerance. This is so enormously WELCOME.

3. I cannot tell you how moving this is. Its the first time I have been moved by a press conference

Seriously.

[Inuca]

4. I hope I'll get a chance to see the whole thing later

on CSPAN. It is moving, the very idea of it. Listening on and off now (at work :-)).

18. kick and recommend!! that was truly fantastic!!!

[Hansel]

19. This is an absolutely wonderful press conference.

I hope that the media takes to heart the plea being made here. They have been large contributors to the insanity on this issue by not slamming the political and religious leaders who are using hatred to further their own careers. On the contrary, in their endeavor to boost their ratings, media personnel have acted as though hatred is a valid point of view that deserves a voice on our airwaves.

These are what real leaders look like and are saying a lot of things here that needed to be said a long time ago. They are bringing sanity into the discussion. I'm glad someone is finally pointing out that the emperor has no clothes. That this is NOT the America we grew up in.

[MrScorpio]

20. That's what America is really all about

If one religious faith is not protected by the First Amendment, no religion is.

[Dappleganger]

27. +10000!

I clicked on CSPAN and got some really boring Brookings Institute stuff.

[SeattleGirl]

24. Thanks. I just bookmarked the link to watch later. n/t

[wookie72]

25. I watched the whole thing

Just great. I wish Dr. Mattson was on TV every day.

[Dappleganger]

26. Yes it was.

I share the same feelings they expressed today.

[Douglas Carpenter]

28. I'm watching the entire presentation right now

It's particularly moving to hear the voice of major Jewish leaders who relate to the experience of prejudice, bigotry and ignorance.
